GAS far back as l can remember" said
gentleman who devotes his leisure TO the col
lection Of curios, every now and then
hoax has appeared and been implicitly be-
heved in by the public. But so many hoaxes
have been sprung upon the community OF re-
cent years that people are more skeptlcal
than they used TO be. The first hoax | re-
member that was generally believed IN was
that jewellers would pay SIS pound for
cigar ashes. This craze was In vogue oil
over the country, and people used TO carry
little boxes around with them TO collect the
ashes in Few ever undertook 70 find out
whether the story was true until he had the
pound Of ashes collected, and then, Of course,
10 was too late Many sensible people pur-
sued this fad, although moments considera-
tion would show that no jeweler in his sober
senses would clean precious metals with
gritty compound. People who wrote 20 the
papers for information in regard TO the non
descript jeweler were consoled with the
knowledge that cigar ashes made an excel
lent if rather disagreeablc deHtifrice.
Then can1c the story that Queen Victoria
would give 81 900 20 each person collecting
l,OOO, 600 old postage stamps This appealed
directly TO the heart Of the small boy, and
many an urchin played truant so that he
could hunt in the ash barrels in front of the
down town Offices Business men had the
souls worried out Of them by youngsters beg
ging for stamps When the fabulous gen
erosity Of the queen began to be doubted a
new story was circulated. II was that Of a
poor old invalid lady who was offered a nice
home for the rest OF her life as soon as she
ha0 collected the million stamps. Then peo-
plo went around collecting stamps for the
benefit of the mythical old lady. The craze
soon died out IL was always supposed 10
have been originated by dealers who took
this way Of booming the trade IN used post
age stamps The button fad followed. No
one seemed 20 know how many buttons had
70 be collected on a string before the task was
accomplished. 1t ranged from 900 to ], 600, :
600. according 10 the success Of the collector.
While the fever lasted nnny a fond father
went TO work in the morning with his clothes
pinned on The last craze WIS for business
cards Il was almost universally followed,
but sooa died out. Fortunes were made and
lost in the manufacture OF chrome advertis-

Necktics were never before in such bright
and vivid contrasts. Satin and silk four in
hands are the correct thing, and are worth
about 81 or $50 piece. OF course, we do
not have 50 large trade in the win

ard yachting shirts are out Of season, and all
articles for summer wear arc Of such light
shades that they soil quickly and necessitate
a large supply. We have a number of novel
ties in silk sJSpcnders. ia Scotch plaids and
colored embroidery, with silver and gold
plated buckles and mountings. They range
from 50 - sl0. Gloves are coming IN again
for evening wear, especially for dancing par
ties. Ladies do not like to have their light
evening dresses soiled by sweaty hands, and
some mems hands win perSpire. For street
wear the old colors, in yellow, brown and
tan. with broad, heavy stitching, stin hold
popular favor Collars are not quite 50 high,
and the corners ara turned in front, making
them more comfortable for the neck.

Pullman Car Building.

The Chicago Mail says: When Mr.
Pullman returns he will find the car
shops in the suburb south of us rushed
with orders as they have not been in
years. The orders now on hand can
not be executed by Jan. 1, 1888. The
Pullman system now employs 7,5O8
persons. In the car shops at Pull
man alone there are $500 workers,
and their pay roll for June was $780,
900. This is an average of about $780,
a month, including many girls, boys
and unskilled laborers. 1t is the high
est average OF salary paid by any
manufacturing concern in the United
States. Skilled mechanics at Pull
man make from $75 to $40 per
month. "What was the cost of the
most expensive car ever duilt by the
Pullmans?" l asked the head of one
OF the departments there. Forty
thousand dollars. was the reply. cit
came to grief, however; was in smash
up and was destroyed. The average
cost Of q Pullman car is about S15,-
600. The vestibule car costs $1S,-
O0O." ''Do you build cars at Pull
man and ship them to the Old Coun-
try?' we construct the metal and
running parts here and send them
to the Derby shops in England,
where the woodwork finishing and up
holsterlngS are done.

Mrs. Carberryis 64 years of age and
weighs but ninety-fye pounds. She
retires each night at 10 o'clock and
rises at 4 O'Clock each morning, and
takes no maps between times.
In addition to the above the lady
has taken care of an invalid husband
and done many things nnmentioned
in this account, and among them We
may mention that she has taken and
paid for in advance the local papers
and has honorably paid every cent for
everything she has bought.
This is woman's work, and the
record is sufficiently commedable to
make many a man blush for shame.
Few there are who have so fully tol-
lowed the admonitlon. "Whatsoever
he saith unto you. do it,"

The convention Of German and Irish
Catholics in Chicago Sept. 6, will be
the first one OF the kind held in the
United States. The object of the con
vention will be, it is said, a consider
alton OF the differences existing be-
tween the German, and Irish Catholics,
and particularly to demonstrate the
strength of the German Catholics and
take steps to secure recognition. It
is claimed that there are about g.
600. 900 German Catholics in the
United States. In respect to the cul-
tivation of the German language,
schools and the church the conven-
ton will not advance new demands.
It is also intended that the conven-
ton shall take some position with re-
ference to the labor problem to en-
courage respectable organizations Of
slaborers and to keep them from dan
gerous influences.
